About this film
This black-and-white amateur film captures the John Crosby family enjoying outdoor activities across different seasons, likely in the 1930s. The first segment focuses on winter recreation, showing children and adults sledding and riding a toboggan down a snow-covered hill, followed by scenes of a boy and a man ice skating on a frozen pond near a picturesque stone bridge and gazebo. The footage then transitions to warmer weather, featuring boys playing on the expansive lawn of a large stone house with a white bulldog. Later scenes highlight two dogs—a large white dog and a smaller dachshund—playfully wrestling and chasing each other in the grass. The clip concludes with two boys, one wearing a sailor hat, sitting on the lawn and posing while holding the two family dogs.
